Hollace "Holly" Lyon

Holly Lyon is a retired U.S. Air Force Colonel and former educator running to flip a seat in the Arizona House this fall. Holly spent more than two decades leading teams while serving her country around the world. Now, Holly is continuing her lifelong commitment to serving others by seeking a seat in the Arizona House, where she aims to put her experience as a practical, listen-first leader to work for her community.

Holly is running in a competitive district where DLCC Target Race candidate Kevin Volk won his 2024 election. Now, she’s ready to claim LD-17’s other seat for Democrats and help flip the Arizona House blue.

After decades of GOP control, 2026 is a historic opportunity to flip the Arizona legislature from red to blue, and Democrats could gain full control of state government..

Arizona is one of our best opportunities in 2026 to flip chambers, and we could gain full control of state government for the first time in Arizona in 60 years. After years of steady gains and holding our ground, the favorable midterm environment in 2026 can be the year that puts us over the top into new majorities and unlocks significant progress for more than 7.5 million Arizonans.

GOP majorities in both chambers have rubber-stamped Trump’s disastrous agenda and pushed the limits of MAGA extremism – the stakes couldn’t be higher to capitalize on the historic opportunity to flip control of both chambers for the first time in decades.
